Duplicating Objects
Duplicating objects can be a powerful way of creating geometrical artwork. You can du-
plicate one or more selected objects by dragging them, using Arrow keys, copying to and
pasting from the Clipboard, or using the Offset Path command. When you copy objects
to the Clipboard, you can paste them on an artboard several different ways: Paste, Paste
in Front, Paste in Back, Paste in Place, or Paste on All Artboards. The Offset Path com-
mand duplicates a path (along with fill and stroke attributes) and places it on the artboard
based on the offset distance specified in the Offset Path dialog box. The duplicate path is
reshaped to fit around the original path.
